Cooper, today was a wonderful and beautiful day. You were so good all day. You were awake and quiet during your blessing (Grandpa Frederiksen said you were justa kickin’ your legs). Daddy gave you your blessing. Everyone thought you were so cute (and it’s completely true)! We thought you looked like a little temple worker in your suit. Daddy blessed you that you would know that the Lord has been with you from the beginning. He blessed you that you would be a missionary and so many other things. It was short, simple, and to the point. We hope you always know how much the Lord loves you.
Mommy’s Testimony: I hope you know that He is always with you. I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only true church on the earth. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a living prophet on the earth today. He receives revelation from the Lord that helps guide us in these days. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet. I know the Book of Mormon is true and that the things inside of it help us learn about our life. It is for our day. It is another testament of Jesus Christ. I know that you were born three months early for a reason. I may never know why, but Cooper, more than anything, I know the Lord needed you here for something. You are a child a God. He loves you. He knows you. He will help you through everything. Keep him close. Live the gospel standards. I love you and am so proud to be your mom.
Daddy’s Testimony: Hopefully he will write this at some point!
